The High Tower

The problem with the Lego landscapes was that it still doesn't consider the "density" of the build. I wanted to create something where it would pack bricks into the available spaces before it increased the height of the build.  Consequently I would need to analyse the available space left in each layer and fit bricks into those spaces.  My first attempt had a bug in the code that increased the height of the bricks in one of the corners of the build.  Whilst the bug was frustrating to track down it did make quite a nice image!

Lego Landscapes (In Search Of Studless Models - Part 6)

Having reached a point where I could build various random structures of different heights/colour combinations, I decided to combine them with a script that I wrote a couple of years ago which would randomly combine a library of Lego models (each created on a 4x4 base plate) onto a 48x48 base plate.  This allowed me to create a "landscape" of Lego.
